A typical question:
Hey guys,
I just did some self learning on CSS and HTML and can’t wait to build my own webpage. However, I don’t know where I can publish my work. Personally, I don’t mind paying if it means no ads on my webpage. Can any experienced web designers recommend me a good host (and hopefully a good deal)?
I am really starting to develop this interest and I am willing to make some small investments. Thank you in advance for all your time and suggestions!
Answer: You are not alone. Many affordable hosting is plagued with inflexibility on their resource limits and haunted by unprofessional support. Web hosting is the heart of your business and can mean the life or death to your business.
To answer your query, here are 7 qualities to look for in a good web hosting. An excellent hosting:
- does not suspend accounts easily like other cheap hosting,
- gives unlimited webspace,
- offers unlimited bandwidth,
- gives unlimited add-on domains,
- has easy-to-use Site Builder with thousands of unique templates,
- has QuickInstall to quickly install apps like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OSCommerce, ZenCart and more
- can be easily upgraded to VPS or one of the best dedicated server plans if and when your business require.
To answer your question, why not try Hostgator. If you are building your first website and needs a hosting plan, experts usually highly recommend going with Hostgator because they are the best hosting and domain registrar around.
With more than 4 million websites hosted, a “Hostgator sucks” comment cannot be avoided. See the drawbacks of Hostgator in the section below. Objectively, HG has an amazingly long, 45 days money back guarantee so you have ample time to test them out. They are rated A+ by Better Business Bureau which shows their commitment to customer satisfaction. You also do not have to pay for the first month. You can just try their fully functional hosting service – you pay only $0.01 (you need to use the special coupon code). Do you know any other hosting company that can give you that kind of assurance? Anybody can grab an account from Hostgator for almost FREE.

Hostgator Complaints
No web hosting service is perfect. Some complaints about Hostgator plans include:
- No free domain name included – but you can easily get a domain name from the best domain registrar such as Godaddy or Namecheap for $10 or less. Would you agree that a website is not complete without a domain name?
- You need to pay full price after your first invoice – well, they need to make money too and all the support and great service do come with a cost. It is like they say, you get what you pay for.
If you are still not sure if HG is right for you, or you have specific query about anything at all, try the Live Chat at HG. They are fast and knowledgeable. Just ask and you shall receive.

Hey,
Your enthusiasm is quite visible! 🙂 Yep, those are interesting areas. Ok, on to your question:
You can publish your work (I assume you mean webpages) on to any good web hosts’ server by signing up for a plan with them. That would give you the "space" to keep all your files / images etc. Then you’d have to get yourself a domain name like derderderder.com 🙂 and make it point to your web hosting server so that when people type in your domain name in their browsers they can see your web pages. If this sounds confusing, you can check out the following step by step guide to do this:

This isn’t necessarily the most beautiful website one would have seen but it would surely give you the steps clearly. As for the recommended hosts for someone like who isn’t an absolute beginner, have a look at this:

All the best for your website journey!
